Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them; continually desiring, the mind becomes a watch-tower on the lookout for incidents that may excite the imagination - music, a sunset, may give image to an idea.

How does one get ideas? By sheer perseverance to the point of madness.

My faith is in the unknown, in all that we do not understand by reason; I believe that what is beyond our comprehension is a simple fact in other dimensions, and that in the realm of the unknown there is an infinite power for good.

Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.

Believe in yourself and don't let nobody stopping you from doing what you gotta do, you gotta have faith. If you can't find faith in the world, find faith in God, find faith in yourself but you gotta have faith.

I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.
